&wn T'our Own ffjffome 

Home, the spot oj earth supremely blest, 

A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest. 

■ —Montgomery. 


Ownership of home is the best illustration of the 
emancipation of man. It means to him and his an 
independence of existence not otherwise obtainable. 
To live in a home which they own gives a family a 
sense of security, an indefinable feeling of satisfac¬ 
tion, a realization of freedom, unknown to those who 
dwell in rented houses. 

Natural Instinct 


such alterations as you see fit, and the money spent 
for improvements will add to the value of your own 
property. Experience the satisfaction and comfort 
that will be yours in knowing that half of your 
present rental payments is being invested in property 
belonging to you, giving splendid return in greatly 
decreased living expense and affording assurance 
and comfort in your later years. 



Desire to own one’s home is a natural instinct,— 
a great constructive force. A family that owns its 
home takes a pride in it, maintains it better, gets 
more pleasure out of it, and has a more wholesome, 
healthful and happy atmosphere in which to bring 
up children. The home-owner has at least one 
definite aim and purpose in life. 

Consequently, he works harder 
outside his home, spends his 
leisure more profitably, and he 
and his family enjoy more of 
the comforts and cultivating 
influences of modern civilization. 

‘President Qoolidge 

To quote President Coolidge: 

“The American Home is the foun¬ 
dation of our national and individual 
well-being. Its steady improvement 
is, at the same time, a test of our 
civilization and of our ideals. We 
need attractive, worthy, permanent 
homes that lighten the burden of 
housekeeping. We need homes in 
which home life can reach its finest 
levels, and in which can be reared 
happy children and upright citizens." 


Man Who Never grossed. Broadway 
There is a story of a man who, many years ago, 
came to Broadway at Times Square, and decided 
to wait until he believed it would be safe before 
crossing the crowded street. Twenty years have 
passed, and he is still waiting for absolute safety. 

The story of many a family 
that has been ready to own a 
home is only too similar. 

A leading business authority 
said recently: 

' 'Anyone who proposes to postpone 
building or buying until prices are 
down to the 1913 level, should incor¬ 
porate the specifications in his will, 
because they will probably not be 
carried out in his lifetime,—if ever." 

(food Test 

A family that has paid its 
rent regularly and has enough 
to make a first payment on a 
home shows the best possible 
evidence of its ability to pay 
for and own a home. 

/mpulse of the 


Stimulant to Cam and Save 


utomobile 


A husband and wife who own their home are more 
apt to save. They find a stimulant in earning and 
saving to pay for their home and making it attrac¬ 
tive. They take a more active part in civic matters. 
Indeed, love of home is one of the finest instincts 
and greatest inspirations of our people. 


Herbert Hoover has truthfully said: 

“The development of the automobile has given a great 
impulse to suburban life and an increasing possibility of home 
ownership. A great need is apparent for well-directed, 
concerted efforts to work out a solution of the problem 
from the viewpoint of the family with a small income, that 
has to make both ends meet." 


‘Personal Questions 

How often has your rent been raised in the past 
few years, in spite of futile protests? How often have 
you spent weary hours searching for other quarters 
when the increase asked was beyond your means, 
or indicated profiteering ? How many times have you 
wished to add to the attractiveness or comfort of 
your home by painting, papering or oterhwise 
improving it, only to be refused by your landlord, 
and to be halted in paying for it out of your own 
pocket by the realization that the money so spent 
would be practically a gift to the property owner 1 
How frequently have you thought of the amount of 
money you have paid in rent and for which you have 
only pieces of paper in the form of receipts to show? 

<iA nswer 

Own your home, and your rent can not be raised; 
nor can you be ordered to vacate. "'I ou can make 


Solution of the Problem for Washington 

Maddux, Marshall & Co., in the development of 
Garrett Park, are endeavoring to do their bit in the 
solution of this problem so far as the Capital of the 
Nation is concerned by placing within the reach of 
families of moderate means not only ownership of 
attractive bungalow homes, but also the enjoyment 
of charming environment, the contentment of fire¬ 
side entertainment, and the pleasure of one’s own 
car. For the first time in the history of Washington— 
and as far as known, for the first time in the history 
of the Country,—have these fundamental elements 
of human happiness, though less pretentious, which 
are enjoyed by the man of wealth, been placed 
within the reach of the man of small income. It is a 
step in advance of all home developments hitherto 
undertaken in the United States, and stands for 
much more than is usually implied in suburban or 
other real estate undertakings.

i/Vestled in a sylvan retreat, far removed from the 
hustle, din and dirt of city, upon gently 
rolling slopes, lies charming, peaceful Garrett Park, 
whose story, with its romantic touch, is here unfolded. 

-Jin Ideal 

Some thirty years ago,—’twas in the early 
nineties,—a noted edu¬ 
cator of Washington, Dr. 

Henry N. Copp, a man 
of idealism, envisioned a 
secluded, cultured com¬ 
munity, away from the 
noise and grime of city, 
yet accessible to the 
scene of man s labor. In 
the rustic region of what 
is now Garrett Park, 
eleven miles or so from 
the heart of the Nation's 
Capital, he found the 
perfect background for 
the realization of his 
ideal. The natural, en¬ 
chanting beauty of the 
wooded slopes, the per¬ 
fect peaceful environ¬ 
ment, met his every re¬ 
quirement, fulfilled his 
every wish. Around one 
side of this fascinating 
woodland spot, rippling 
along with gentle mur¬ 
murs picturesque Rock 
Creek wended its way. 

Birds and Flowers 

In its leafy, shadowed 

hush robins, blue jays and cardinals flashed their 
brilliant plumage while mocking birds voiced their 
sweet notes. Woodthrush, with the garb of a monk 
and the voice of an angel, warbled songs of peace 
and happiness. Golden-rod, daisies and other wild 
flowers bedecked the fields; the pungent sweetness 
of honeysuckle filled the air. 

The Master Hand 

There was needed only the skillful touch of John 
T. Freeman, a well-known engineer. Selecting as his 


model, an old English village, the master’s hand 
built through the woods gracefully winding, beauti¬ 
fully finished macadam avenues which with perfec¬ 
tion lent themselves to the establishment of alluring 
home sites. Today, arched by majestic oaks, tall 
poplars, stately elms, and beautiful maples, these 
curving avenues still bear the names with which they 

were christened, — the 
names of their prototypes 
in the old English village; 
Argyle, Albemarle, 
Strathmore, Surrey, Wa- 
verly, Wa r w ic k, and 
others that take us back 
to our mother country in 
the Old World. 

(fultured (fommunity 

Garrett Park was 
named after John W. 
Garrett, then President 
of the Baltimore and 
Ohio Railroad, which 
skirts the eastern edge of 
the Park. To this com¬ 
munity were attracted 
artists, writers, and in¬ 
ventors. Irene Temple 
Bailey, authoress of’ ‘ The 
Dim Lantern, - ' one of the 
most popular of recent 
novels, lived in Garrett 
Park, and many of the 
scenes in her book were 
laid there. The gallant 
A Rustic Spot in the Park and interesting hero of 

the story, Evans Follette, 
was Evans Fugitt, a nearby resident. 

Others of Note 

Jenny Wilson, wonderful soprano of Grand 
Opera fame, lived in Garrett Park while studying 
for her career,—and who knows but what the 
song-birds of this tranquil woodland village lent 
her inspiration? Hollerith, inventor of the tabulating 
machine that has revolutionized the taking of our 
National census, and other huge statistical projects, 
perfected his invention midst Garrett Park's peaceful

quiet. In the old Pavilion beside the 
Spring this coterie and the other residents 
of the colony, including Mrs. Suzanne 
Oldberg, a prominent vocal teacher of 
Washington, were wont to gather for im¬ 
promptu concerts, musical affairs, dances 
and other entertainment. 


Ahead of His Time 

But Henry Copp, like many other men of 
idealism and vision, lived ahead of his time. 
Lack of means of quick transportation and 
ways of prompt communication made the 
isolation of Garrett Park such that its 
population, consisting of some fifty families, 
long since ceased to increase, and this 
charming, peaceful village with its trees, 
shrubbery, macadamized streets, flowers, 
and birds, gradually passed into seclusion 
almost forgotten until recently re-discovered, 
so to speak, by Maddux, Marshall & Co., 
who saw its present-day suburban possi- 
bilites,—who conceived how it could now be 
made the realization of the dream of the 
family of small income. Indeed, Garrett 
Park as a real estate development is truly a 
discovery, a find. 


Thanks to Modern Transportation 

Few people seemed to know that such a 
delightful sylvan town, a spot of such rare 
rustic beauty and woodland splendor, 
existed at the very gates of Washington, 
brought there by the automobile, the 


Strolling Paths That Lure 


























Beautiful, Well-Kept Lawns 

radio, and modern railway service. A 
garden-spot in nearby Maryland, Garrett 
Park, only some thirty minutes away, is 
truly Washington's suburb ideal, a Mecca 
for home-seekers of moderate means. 
And it was because Henry Copp lived 
ahead of his time that today it is possible 
for families of small income to own 
homes in an environment fit for millionaires. 
They are getting the benefit of the vision, 
the idealism, the labors, of a man of genius, 
who, some thirty years ago, dreamed and 
planned, but did not live to see his dream 
come true. 

c An Ideal Setting 

Environment means so much. In choos¬ 
ing a home, a real home, the first, the pri¬ 
mary consideration is environment. The 
Garret Park of today is pictured in this 
Brochure. Can you conceive a more desir¬ 
able setting for a home? 

Ambition Realized, Hope Fulfilled 

To those of moderate means in whose 
hearts there is a yearning to own their 
homes—unpretentious, but attractive, happy 
homes,—Garrett Park, pointing the way, is 
like unto "The Dim Lantern,"—twinkling 
through the fog of uncertainty; glimmering 
beyond the mist of city dust, and dirt, and 
din—a beacon of ambition realized, hope 
fulfilled.

Accessibility. Splendid transportation 
facilities are afforded to the business, 
shopping, and working centers of Wash¬ 
ington, reached in twenty-five to forty min¬ 
utes, via the B. & O. Railroad, the trolley 
line at Kensington (only a short ten- 
minute walk away), and by automobile 
(one of which goes with every home) to the 
west, center and east sections of Wash¬ 
ington. (See, “The Way to Garrett 
Park,'' page 15; and, “Annihilation of 
Distance,” page 14.) 


Modern Conveniences. While free from 
the urban annoyances of noise, bustle, 
grime, and congestion, all the modern 
city advantages of telephone, electricity, 
water, and sewerage are available. 


Natural Charm. With its wonderful 
shade trees, winding macadamized 
avenues, generous shrubbery, attractive 
lawns, and abundant flower-gardens, 
there is no spot in this region of the 
Country 


The Aerial Camera Discloses th 


possessing 
greater native 
beauty, rustic 
setting, rural 
surroundings, 
and restful 
atmosphere of 
refinement 
than does 
Garrett Park. 
Virtually free 
from mosqui¬ 
tos and other 
insects, and 
elevated some 
500 feet above 
Washington, 
its summer 
temperature 
is from ten to 
twenty de- 
grees cooler. 


Wholesome 
C otnmun- 
ity. The 

families now 

living in Garrett Park are all substantial, upright, law abiding, home-loving citizens, mostly people 
of moderate means,—the class of men and women who constitute the backbone of the Nation. They 
are proud of Garrett Park; they are jealous of its good name and reputation. They are the kind of 
neighbors we all wish to have. The neighborly atmosphere of the community is wholesome and 
refined,—an ideal community in which to live and to bring up children, who can play around in 
the open, enjoying healthful fresh air, away from the noise and dirt and crowds and dangerous 
automobiles of cities. Again, in Rock Creek, only one short half-mile away, is a fine swimming 
hole, constantly used throughout the summer. 


MAP OF THE 

Subdivision of 


Protecting Home-Owners. Ample protection is afforded home-owners by wise racial restrictions, 
careful zoning, and sensible building regulations (enforced by the Township authorites, all of whom 
are present property owners) concerning the cost and types of houses to be built and the purposes for 
which they may be occupied. So far as Maddux, Marshall & Co., are concerned references are 
required of all who wish to buy before sales are made, and with the cooperation of the Town 
Council, residents are guaranteed permanently desirable surroundings and desirable neighbors. 

Country Life. Those who may wish to cultivate vegetable gardens, plant fruit trees, raise chickens 
and indulge in other phases of country life, will have full opportunity to do so, as many are now doing.

Schools. There is a grammar school 
operated by the County Board of Educa¬ 
tion, but no high school, the nearest of 
which is in Rockville (population, 1145), 
four miles away. The Georgetown Pre¬ 
paratory School is only a mile away. 
Naturally, school facilities will improve 
as the population of Garrett Park in¬ 
creases. 

Churches. There is one church, Union 
Church (Episcopal), for general attend¬ 
ance. However, in Kensington (popula¬ 
tion, 874), one short mile away, there 
are churches of the following denomina¬ 
tions: Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian, 
and Baptist. 

Buy Now and Save Money. At the 

rate the population of Washington has 
been increasing and the rapidity with 
which the city has been growing north¬ 
westward, no special vision is required to 
foresee that within the next few years 

Garrett Park 
will be in the 
outskirts of 
the Capital. 

The present 
population of 
Washington 
is about 

437 . 500 . 
Based upon 
rate of past 
growth and 
other con- 
siderat ions 
the Telephone 
people, gener¬ 
ally consider¬ 
ed the best 
authority on 
questions of 
population, 
estimate that 
by 1935 the 
population of 
Washington 
will bp 555, 
000, — an in- 
crease of 

117.500, or 
about 27%. 

Other Predictions. Others 
predict the increase in the 
population of Washington within 
the next ten years will be much 
greater than this. The nearer 
Garrett Park is to the city 
limits the greater will be the value of property, and there is no 
doubt the value of real estate in Garrett Park will increase several 
fold within our life time. 

Let us bear in mind that Garrett Park is just a step beyond 
Chevy Chase, directly in the path oj the northwestward expansion 
of Washington.

Types of JfComes 

As shown by the floor plans on the opposite page, 
for the present three types of homes, will be built in 
Garrett Park. However, for the sake of scenic 
appearance the exteriors of each type will be varied. 

Cosily nestling amongst green, shady trees, these 
bungalow homes, each designed with a view to 
emitting exterior beauty and possessing interior 
utility, have a charm, individuality, and, distinct¬ 
iveness all their own. Like little architectural gems 
in exquisite sylvan setting, they are in perfect 
harmony with their rustic, picturesque surroundings. 

Construction 

All workmanship and material are of the best 
quality, the governing motive being to build the 
very best home that can be produced for the price 
asked. “Permanency” being the ideal sought, only 
materials of the finest quality, assembled under 
expert and exacting supervision, are used.

they are by far the lowest figures at which it has ever 
before been possible to purchase such homes. 

Efficiency and Economy 

The building, purchasing, and other departments 
of Maddux, Marshall & Co. are under practical, 
experienced men of outstanding ability in their res¬ 
pective fields. All material, which is carefully 
inspected and tested upon delivery, is purchased by 
an expert staff that knows the market thoroughly 
and understands the business of buying economically, 
paying minimum prices for high class material, and 
taking advantage of all discounts. All engineering, 
carpenter, and other work is done under the exacting 
supervision of highly trained, well organized 
personnel, skilled in the handling of labor and in 
the use of assembling of materials, thus eliminating 
waste, inferior workmanship, lost motion, and delay. 

(Clients Qet Advantage 
of Savings 

It is because of this splendid organization, econo¬ 
mical management, and efficient administration that 
Maddux, Marshall and Co. can build homes at least 
20% below the usual cost, and. therefore, sell them 
that much cheaper, it being their policy to share with 
their clients all savings the firm is able to make 
through economic purchases of material, efficient 
supervision of workmanship, and otherwise. The 
Company prizes its reputation above all else. It is their 
most valuable asset. The reputation of Maddux, Marshall 
and Co. is back of the development of Garrett Park. 

Insert Sheet 

Due to variations from time to time in the cost of 
material and labor as well as because of other con¬ 
siderations, the prices of the homes in Garrett Park 
will increase or decrease accordingly, the purchaser 
always being given full benefit of any decrease in 
cost of building. Therefore, instead of incorporating 
in the body of this brochure, the prices of the homes 
and terms of payment, they are given on an inserted 
sheet which will be revised and brought up to date 
whenever necessary.

Annihilation of ‘Distance 


The essence of the problem of transportation is, 
of course, TIME, and not distance. In this day and 
generation distance is virtually annihilated by the 


The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad offers frequent, 
regular, unfailing and rapid service to the Union 
Station. The Capital Traction Company's trolley at 



rapid means of modern transportation—the automo¬ 
bile, the railroad and the trolley, which have evolved 
the modern suburb. 

In the case of Garrett Park, the problem of trans¬ 
portation is solved most satisfactorily. The auto¬ 
mobile (one of which, with a trim garage, goes with 
every Maddux, Marshall home), affords access, over 
excellent macadamized roads, to the very center of 
the city in 25 or 30 minutes of easy and pleasant 
driving through attractive, picturesque country. 


Kensington (a short ten-minute walk) is a conven¬ 
ient auxiliary. 

The map and the tabulations below show graph¬ 
ically how much nearer to Washington, in TIME, is 
Garrett Park, via railroad, as compared with Alex¬ 
andria, Takoma Park, Chevy Chase, Glen Echo, 
Bethesda, Capitol Heights and other suburbs, via 
trolley—the means of transportation habitually used 
by the great majority of the residents of these places 
who commute daily to Washington.

GARRETT PARK TO UNION STATION 25 Minutes 

UNION STATION TO U. S. TREASURY 12 Minutes 


I have lived in Garrett Park for over seven years, and have 
never experienced any inconvenience because of the distance 
of twelve miles between Garrett Park and the center of 
Washington. 

I leave my home in Garrett Park usually at about 8:15 
A.M. in my automobile, and after leaving my children at 
school in Washington, and parking the car, I have no trouble 
in being at my desk ready for work at nine o'clock. 

W. Scott Macgill 
(Former Mayor of Garrett Park) 


By train, the trip to Garrett Park can be made in 
25 minutes from Union Station. I can leave my office at ten 
minutes to five in the evening, take the 5:10 at Union Station 
and be in my home at twenty minutes of six. 

If anyone entertains the thought that the distance to 
Garrett Park is an objection to residence there, I can say 
it is only a state of mind, which is readily dispelled after the 
actual facts are known.

(Mayor of Garrett Park)

( goodbye , Qity — 

I'm Qoing to Qarrett ‘Park 


Goodbye, City, I'm going to Garrett Park; to Garrett Park in 
nearby Maryland, where me and mine, like Noah’s pair of happy 
meadow larks, we re going to sail a rustic little ark. 

And when for the day my work is done, in crowded, germ-filled, 
stuffy street cars no longer shall 1 ride—pulling, pushing in the 
crowd, often standing, on some old strap hanging—at end of 
journey but to find a cooped-up urban home. 

But, instead, in that little car of mine, one of which, with fine 
garage, forms a part of every Maddux-Marshall home in glorious 
Garrett Park, my happy way I’ll wend, as going along I smile, for 
ten or so short miles, o'er good macadam pike, through country 
all folks like, ozone good and pure my lungs inhaling, as we do 
when sailing. 

When rustic Garrett Park I reach—mid trees and woods and 
nearby fields; strolling walks inviting; lots of pure, fresh air, and 
outdoor playing, romping ground that'll make our growing kiddies 
happy, healthy, strong and sound—in real rural region shall I 
be, with green and lovely lawn my happy home surrounded, while 
here and there are flowers fair, as well as fruit trees, if you please, 
and garden too—also chickens, if I choose, in backyard of that 
rustic little home, to me and mine so dear. 

But with radio in my home, a set of which is part of every Maddux- 
Marshall house in rural Garrett Park, though in country me and 
mine, in city life we ll then take part. 

And when my monthly pay I get, on your sweet life you can bet, 
instead of paying good big rent to some landlord on prolific profits 
bent, on my home in Garrett Park will this money wisely go—so 
in time—it won't be long—to me and mine will all belong this 
rustic little ark in rural Garrett Park. 

And living thus, as every man good God intended, under vine and 
fig-tree all my own, content ly sitting, for me and mine like a 
dream it will be—ambition realized, hope fulfilled. 

And so I say, “Goodbye, City, me and mine, like Noah's pair of 
happy meadow larks, we're going to sail a rustic little ark in rural 
Garrett Park.'’
